This recipe has intrigued me for years and I've always wanted to make it but never really got around to it. I've seen this recipe on pinterest and various recipe sites and many comments stating that it's served alongside Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner. I have to say, this one had me confused a little. I renamed the recipe but if you google search it, it's called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Salad? Huh? That's the part that confused me?If it really is a salad, then well.... that's my kinda salad!

Put the pretzels in a baggie and beat them up :)

Mix sugar, pretzels and melted butter all together.

Press firmly in to a 9x13 dish.My 8 year old niece pretty much made this entire recipe herself under the watchful eyes of Moosey (the Moose) & Butterscotch (the horse)

Bake until lightly toasted but no more than 10 minutes or the crust will be rock hard and impossible to eat.Once baked, remove from oven & allow crust to cool slightly, I then refrigerated it while I prepared the cream cheese portion.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled base and chill again until set.

Mix up the jello and chill allowing it to thicken every so slightly.

Once everything is nice and chilly, pour the jello over the cream cheese mixture and layer on the fresh strawberries.
